On Saturday night, Independiente and Boca Juniors clash at the Estadio Libertadores de America in a Buenos Aires Primera Division derby.
Independiente form guideAfter a poor campaign, The home team is in 23rd place in the Argentinian top flight. Their recent league form has been unconvincing, too, as they have recorded just one win in their last four Primera Division games.
Last time out, they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Atletico Tucuman, which was another low-scoring encounter for Independiente, as their previous five Primera Division games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Independiente saw a six-game unbeaten run on home soil end last time out, as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Newell’s Old Boys. The game was the home side's fourth straight low-scoring match on home soil, as their last four games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Boca Juniors form guideThe visitors have hit form in recent weeks, as they are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions, having recorded six wins. The good run includes Boca recording four straight victories while scoring at least two goals in their previous three outings. Their recent good form has moved them to eighth place in the table.
Boca Juniors have been prolific in recent games, scoring at least two goals in five of their last seven competitive games.
They have an inconsistent recent away record in the Primera Division, although they have won just two of their previous eight matches. Boca have struggled for goals on their travels in the Argentinian top flight, as they have failed to score in three of their last four matches away from home.
What am I backing?The bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals, as Independiente’s recent home matches have been low-scoring, and Boca have struggled for goals in their recent away games.
